I've just posted question as to how to burn television shows...

But I've been reading other posts and wonder if I can even burn a television show on my computer.

Can someone tell me -

I download television programs from LW. I use a MSN Media Player or a Real Player to watch. My computer has a CD writer and a DVD.rom.

Is this enough to burn a copy of the television program?

Thanks!

Normally I would say you have to have a dvd burner and the software to convert your files to dvd format, but I have read that some people burn movies and such by doing a Data burn and they use a CD for this...The program used for this is Nero, but as Im not familiar with it I cant be 100% sure...
Hopefully someone who knows Nero will give you some advice about this...

Thanks for responding. I'm a bit intimidated by some of the responses to other "newbie" questions...if you don't know the basics, hard to research your answers.

I see Nero on my computer programs - don't know how to get into it.

Any other information would be appreciated!

I would guess that you have Nero Startsmart (You don't specify what version of Nero you have)

Start>All Programs>(Nero version?)>Nero StartSmart should do it

BTW if you had nero preinstalled when you bought the computer it is not the full featured program but you should have no problem burning data disks

Thank you Sleepless...

I can find Nero when I go to add/remove programs but when I follow your suggestions to open the All Programs - Nero is not listed.

So-perhaps I should download Nero again? I'm afraid my computer is getting slower and slower and sllllloooooooowwwwwweeeeerrrrrr-

I am living in Italy presently and don't speak the language very well...so it is making it much more difficult to get any kind of assistance on my computer issues. Thus the reason I am asking what might seem like such basic questions! My apologies!

It might be in your All Programs > Accessories..
With your computer acting very slow, be careful you haven't downloaded a virus or something nasty...
Check this thread for some information on this....

Depends on the size of the file you want to burn and what you want to watch it with. I would go for the DVD as you can burn several files at one time and be able to watch it on your pc and DVD player. I'm not sure about burning video files onto CD - these are usually used for audio files.

You must have a DVD burner to burn a DVD.

Most DVD burners will also burn CD's

larry

You can convert your videofiles to VCD or SVCD if you want to burn them to CD. I have never tried this. I burn everything exept Audio-CD to DVD. Should be easy though and I'm sure that someone on this forum knows how to do it
